RE: intakes
If your looking for more power, an intake isnt what you want. Youll see maybe 3rwhp. Save your money and put some gears in instead.

You'll be
really lucky if you see a 2rwhp gain from either. But JLT is very reputable and seems to generate the most "gains"
A little pricey, but I'd say JLT is worth the money.

JLT's fenderwell cai seems to get the most praise, probably cause the pipe's diameter is 4 freakin inches wide.
But yeah like the other guys said, you wont see much power gained. cai is more for looks.
My buddy had a JLT on his stang before he sold it, looked pretty good, just freakin huge hahaa.

You may not see it on the dyno, but the CAI/RAI does make a difference in throttle response. Or maybe I'm just tellin myself that.[8D]
